The Shangri-La Hotel in Zhonghai was located by the artificial lake in the new city district. The scenery was pleasant, and the lights were bright under the night sky, reflecting in the lake, looking especially dreamy.
Yang Cheng drove the Aston Martin to the entrance of the hotel. After getting out of the car, he handed the car key to the waiter at the door.
The waiter was also knowledgeable. When he saw this kind of car, he immediately realized that the guest was not ordinary. He took the car key and carefully drove the car to the parking lot.
In Hua Xia, unlike abroad, there was no need to give a tip for this kind of thing. This made Yang Cheng feel that it was much simpler.
Yang Cheng naturally raised his arm towards Lin Ruoxi, indicating for Lin Ruoxi to hold it.
Since he was going to be a gentleman of high society, he had to have a female companion.
Lin Ruoxi did not hesitate much. After all, it was not the first time. She gently stuck to the man's side and whispered, "Just hold it like this, don't move."
The implication was, of course, that he was not allowed to rub against some sensitive parts of her body. This was something Yang Cheng often did in the past.
Yang Cheng said calmly, "Today, even if you want me to be a wooden man, I will listen to you."
Only then did Lin Ruoxi give a satisfied "En" sound.
Just as the two of them were about to enter the hotel, a silver soft-top convertible suddenly drove in from outside and blocked the two of them, blocking the entrance of the hotel!
Upon closer inspection, it was a British Rolls-Royce Phantom. This kind of seven-point displacement limited edition super luxury sedan would cost at least seven or eight million Hua Xia dollars. It was a product that even if you had money, you might not have it. Compared to the Aston Martin that Yang Cheng drove, it was a level higher!
Yang Cheng frowned. The car owner seemed to have purposely come for the two of them. Otherwise, he would not have rushed in front of the two of them so quickly and had to stop them.
Lin Ruoxi seemed to have thought of something. She held onto Yang Cheng's arm and exerted a little force. It was obvious that her heart was not calm.
Soon, the double doors opened, and a man and a woman came out.
The man was wearing an exquisitely tailored Armani black suit. He had neatly combed black hair and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He looked to be less than thirty years old, but he had an elegant and mature bearing.
The woman, on the other hand, had her hair in an elegant bun and wore large crystal earrings. She was wearing a white lace dress with a floral pattern at the waist. The low neckline revealed her proud capital. Her deep cleavage was so white that it was dazzling, and her light makeup revealed a seductive look.
After handing the car over to the attendant, the man and woman also held each other's arms, just like a couple or husband and wife. The woman was especially lovable, sticking closely to the man's side.
The two of them did not enter the hotel immediately. Instead, they turned around and faced Lin Ruoxi.
"Ruoxi, long time no see," the man said with a magnetic voice and a smile.
Lin Ruoxi stared at the man's handsome face for a few seconds with a complicated expression. She then looked at the woman beside the man, who had a smug look on her face, and said calmly, "I don't think it's been that long."
The woman flirtatiously combed a few strands of black hair at the tip of her ear. "You're as cold as always, Lin Ruoxi."
Lin Ruoxi did not say anything. She turned around and pulled Yang Cheng's hand, wanting to enter the hotel directly.
Yang Cheng felt a little uncomfortable, because Lin Ruoxi had no intention of introducing them at all. It was obvious that when she looked at the man, her eyes were filled with suppressed emotions.
Even Zeng Xinlin, who was her senior in the past, did not look as intense as Lin Ruoxi when she looked at him. Even if she did not show it, Yang Cheng could feel it.
At this moment, the man asked, "Ruoxi, aren't you going to introduce this gentleman of yours? I heard from Chris that you're married, but Yaxin and I didn't believe it. I didn't expect it to be true. "
Lin Ruoxi did not take a step forward. She looked at the ground and asked expressionlessly, "Are you saying that only the two of you can get married?"
"Of course not," the woman named Yaxin said with a smile, "It's just that the famous iceberg beauty in the university got married at such a young age, and she's even someone I've never heard of before. After all, we've spent a year with you in the university, and as friends, we're very concerned about your marriage." "That's right.
The man looked at Yang Cheng and said teasingly, "This must be Ruoxi's husband, Mr. Yang Cheng. It's an honor to meet you. My name is Li Jianhe, but you can call me Hansen. I was Ruoxi's teaching assistant in university. This is my wife, Shen Yaxin. She was also Ruoxi's postgraduate classmate. "
Lin Ruoxi did not give Yang Cheng a chance to speak. She said coldly, "Since you know what he's called, let's go in."
After she finished speaking, Lin Ruoxi didn't want to stay any longer. She pulled Yang Chen and walked into the hotel, ignoring Yang Chen's confusion.
Seeing Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi enter the hotel, Li Jianhe's eyes lit up and he chuckled.
Shen Yaxin hummed softly, "Darling, are you still thinking about that woman?"
Li Jianhe smiled. "She's even more beautiful than she was in school. How could I not think about such a beautiful flower?"
"Hmph, aren't you afraid I'll be jealous?"
Li Jianhe laughed. "When she rejected me, I didn't care about her anymore. A woman who dares to reject me, no matter how beautiful she is, is just a pitiful worm. How can she compare to my most beloved Yaxin? "
Shen Yaxin smiled and kissed her husband on the cheek, twisting her hips and sticking close to him as they walked into the hotel together.
After being dragged into the hotel by Lin Ruoxi, Yang Chen noticed that her body was trembling slightly. He couldn't help but ask with concern, "Ruoxi, what's wrong with you? Who are they?"
Lin Ruoxi took a deep breath. "That Li Jianhe. He was Chris's most trusted assistant when I was a postgraduate student. That Shen Yaxin was my classmate."
"Is he powerful? What does he do?"
Lin Ruoxi said, "Li Jianhe's family is an international financial group. But because their business is mainly in Europe, they don't have much of a reputation in the country. I only learned about them after I graduated from university. They mainly invest in the automobile industry, and they also have car parts manufacturers all over the world. They have quite a bit of shares in Germany's BMW and Italy's Fiat. That Shen Yaxin's grandfather and parents are high officials in the Jiang province. They belong to a big family with a strong background. "
"No wonder they drive a Rolls-Royce. They built it themselves," Yang Cheng said.
As the two entered the elevator, Lin Ruoxi pressed the button. "I didn't mention it to you before, but I have to tell you now. Chris may be my mentor on the surface, but his academic achievements are recognized by the world. The Morgan family once hired him to be the head of a bank in America, but he didn't like high-intensity work and didn't like being tied down, so he rejected the offer. But many companies still want to hire him, and many want him to be a consultant. Otherwise, Li Jianhe and his wife wouldn't have come here so easily. "
"Tsk tsk," Yang Cheng sighed. "Even the Morgan family couldn't get him, but my wife managed to get him to be a vice-president. As expected of my darling Ruoxi."
Lin Ruoxi rolled her eyes. "I'm not joking. The job he's in charge of is the easiest one. If not for the fact that we hit it off well, and that he likes Hua Xia's food, I wouldn't have been able to get him here."
"Based on what you said, Li Jianhe and Shen Yaxin's background aren't any worse than yours. Honey, don't tell me we're at the bottom of the list of people Chris invited?" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
Actually, Yang Cheng could tell that Lin Ruoxi wasn't very happy, so he wanted to make a joke. He wanted to ask Lin Ruoxi if she had any other relationship with Li Jianhe, but Lin Ruoxi avoided talking about it, so Yang Cheng didn't want to probe further. He didn't want their relationship to turn sour again.
Lin Ruoxi nodded seriously. "I've worked hard for the past few years, and I have some capital. But no matter how fast Yu Lei develops, I'm just a businesswoman. Like Li Jianhe and Shen Yaxin, they had deep roots in the government, both within and outside the country. The rest of the people we're meeting today are mostly leaders of large corporations in the country, as well as some heirs of prominent families related to the central government.
Back then, because Chris was an internationally recognized master in the market, people like us learned from him. My grandma also hoped that I could build some connections. That's why I don't want to turn down this gathering. If I don't come, I'll offend some people. Also, out of respect for Chris, I have to come. I'm afraid that some people might want to poach Chris away. Of course, I have to watch. "
Yang Cheng didn't expect a simple gathering to be so complicated. But what he cared about was the relationship between Li Jianhe and Lin Ruoxi. As for who was rich and who was powerful, what did it have to do with him?
Lin Ruoxi's brows were especially solemn. Because Li Jianhe and his wife had suddenly returned from overseas, the woman seemed to have recalled many memories of the past.
Finally, after walking out of the elevator, the two walked through a luxuriously decorated corridor, and arrived at a high-rise private room with a lake view.
As soon as they entered the room, there were already more than a dozen men and women in pairs, including Chris and his wife. They were laughing heartily and chatting with friends and students they hadn't seen for years.
"Oh, my dear Lin, you're finally here. Is this your husband, Mr. Yang?" A Caucasian woman with fiery red lips greeted Lin Ruoxi in English, and immediately opened her arms to hug her excitedly.
